The Martha's Vineyard Herald
some time ago published a thrilling
story of sailors fall from aloft into
a rough sea and his final rescue.
An old salt called in to see the
Herald editor soon after and told the
following "o'er true" tale: II was
in the good ship Surprise crossing
the Western Ocean. A spanking
breeze was driving the ship home at
a most lively rate, everything draw

ful cry, man overboard.' started the
entire ships company. The captain
came OH deck, and looking over the
taffrail at the rapidly receding OBJ
ject and then observing the good
speed the ship was making, said in
pious voice: Poor fel ow. God
help him; Pm sorry for him, but we
must take advantage of this breeze

COMFORT IN SWEARING.-A c0un-
try parson, in encountering a storm
the past season in a voyage across
the Atlantic, was reminded of the
following:
A clergyman was so unfortunate
as to be caught in a severe storm in
the voyage out. The water was ex-
ceedingly rough, and the ship per-
sistently buried her nose in TIE sea.
The rolling was constant, and at
last the good man got thoroughly
frightened. He believed they were
destined for a watery grave. He
asked the captain If he could not
have prayers. The captain took
him by the aim and led him
down to the forecastle, where the
tars were singing and swearing.
There" said he, when you hear
them swearing you may know there
is no danger"
He went back feeling better but
the storm increased his alarm. Dis
consolatc aod unassisted, he man
aged to stagger to the forecastle
again. The mariners were swearing g
as ever. Mary" he said, as he
erawled into his berth, to his SYM
pathetic wife, after tacking across a
wet deck" Mary" thank God
they're swearing yet"

SOME EARTHQUAKE PIC
TURES AT NICE.

The recent earthquake in Italy
occurred on the morning after the
carnival-on the morning of Ash
Wednesday, in fact. A gentleman
recently returned to New York had
full experience of the catastrophe,
and furnishes details TO the Herald,
from which We make the following
extract:
The night was filed with revelry.
Balls were held all over the city, but
there were 10000 people at the
one great ball of the night.
II went to the ball, and it was
very late when I reached home, u

book. Suddenly and without
warning a roar more terrific, came.
A thousand mines seemed expiod>
ing under the floor and a thousand
trains Of cars seemed rolling over
the roof. The Boise was indescriba-
BILE. It seemed as ifthe world was
being ground to pieces and the city
withit. The first shock threw me

a great effort to reach the door

and pounded, but in that awful
roar could only just hear his voice.
l shouted as loud as 1 could, and
yelled that it was an earthquake
that we must fl to the street. We
burst open the double doors, and in
some way, 1 don't know how, got
down stairs while the great walls,
ten feet thick, were cracking with
artillery reports The scenes in
the corridors and on the floors be-
low US ere like a riot in mad
house. Beautiful women, with
long hair streaming down their
backs, rushed wildly around, be-
seeching the porters to save them.
One woman, who had been the
belle of many a ball, appeared in
single garment with a bird-cage
and two canaries. The birds were
so frightened that they hung backs
downward from their cage with
their eyes closed. The lady reached
the street, where some one gave hel
a wrap for her shoulders, but she
had no skirt. Having experienced
earthquake in San Francisco, ]
thought I was familiar with them
but at Nice the horror was beyond
description. On the street the peo-
pie lost their heads. Fifty dollars
were offered for any kind of a We
hicle. Hundreds of ladies in their
night>garments fell on their knees
before great, rough porters more
frightened than themselves. Money
could not hire them to go into the
buildings for trunks We dragged

The Engineering Ncocs, in tie
course of a long article on the SUBJ
stitution of steam heat for stove heat
in railway cars, shows that no more
than from q to 81 per cent of the
locomotives supply of steam is re-
quired for heating the average train,
1t adds that this quantity can be
obtained without reducing the load
increasing the heating surface, de-
creasing the speed, or decreasing the
loss by radiation. It is only neces-
sary to push the fires little when
the locomotive is on a level or down
grade, and to use steam that can
be spared while the train is resting
at stations.
